I have known Sarah for 18 years and been at her house her house numerous times. Sarah has a wonderful home, house and gardens that she and her husband Phillip look after really well. The external grounds are extensive and Sarah is a wonderful gardener, so you can always rely on something fresh from the garden to be at her table. They maintain their external property with great care and understanding of nature and the needs of property management. Internally, Sarah’s home is always clean, refreshed and repaired as needed. I have often been on holidays with Sarah at self-cater accommodation; she always cleans up after the briefest of visits as if you wanted to eat of the floor, regardless of whether you are expected the clean the property or not! Sarah has very high hygiene standards, but also a great sense of how to make a house comfortable and lovely to be in. She has dogs, cats and chooks; all of them looked after with kindness and love. In addition to her capacity to look after home and gardens very well, Sarah is reliable & trustworthy; so If you want somebody to look after you home, you could not find a better home sitter.

I have known Sarah and Philip for seven years as their parish priest in Darlington. They are friendly, kind and caring people. I have enjoyed being a guest in their home on many occasions. Sarah keeps the house and garden in immaculate condition. She is a very good cook and skilled flower arranger. I often remind Phil that he is extremely lucky to have her. He really hit the jackpot there.

Sarah is one of the leaders of our Mainly Music group for toddlers and their parents. She has a natural grace in meeting new people, and is just as comfortable playing blocks on the floor with a small child as she is comforting a struggling new mum.

Philip also has some good qualities but they are barely noticeable next to Sarah’s. He’s good at organising and yard work, but, who are we kidding, Sarah is the real asset.

I would not hesitate to recommend Sarah and Philip as house sitters. You’ll return to a spotless house and an arrangement of cut flowers, with a batch of fresh brownies cooling on the bench. You’ll say ‘Philip you are so lucky to be married to Sarah’ and you will be 100% correct.

The only thing I ask is that you don’t let them stay too long, as we need them back here.

About Sarah & Philip

Born in England and emigrated to Australia in my 20's some 28 years ago. I have a gorgeous husband, and two beautiful sons in their 20's who will look after our pets as we travel.

Why we want to house sit

As my husband and I have taken a break from work, we are keen to live in other countries for longer periods in order to experience local life and communities.

Our experience

We built our beautiful home on about 3/4 acre in a very pretty part of the Perth Hills. We have created a paradise where our family including our dogs, cats and chooks enjoy a relaxed and harmonious lifestyle. We both have travelled widely through Europe and Asia and have benefitted from leaving our pets in the safe care of trusted house-sitters.
